REVIEW

We stayed here for 4 nights and our stay was mostly quite pleasant. The view is beautiful and the pool is lovely. The drive up to the farm house is a bit treacherous but doable, even in a little fiat. The location is relatively remote and only breakfast was provided. The local supermarket is 10 mins drive into Greve Centre which was handy to provision for meals but the drive back to the accommodation can be a bit of a drag to do more than once a day.
